Welcome!

We are a community of three small congregations with services provided in English, Spanish, and Korean. We meet in Bell Gardens, a city southeast of downtown Los Angeles. Our desire is to please God in all that we do, especially in telling what the Bible says about who Jesus Christ is and what He has done for our benefit. We honor Jesus by following and responding to Him as the Holy Spirit guides us, in loving (becoming intensely satisfied in) Christ and loving (seeking the best for) one another. We would like to extend an invitation to you to be His guest, with us, this week.

Isaiah 40. Isaiah preaches to a congregation that won’t hear his sermon until two hundred years later. What does he say? Isaiah presents four words of comfort and reminds them that the power of God is greater than anything. January 31, 2010.

Yardenit, Israel

Yardenit is located along a portion of the Jordan River. Baptisms are re-performed, except where forbidden. Do you think John the Baptist and Jesus had this problem?

The Father’s Two Greatest Gifts
“From start to finish, the whole Christian life is by grace through faith. A new life in Christ commences with faith, continues by faith, and will be completed through faith. To put this another way, the Gospel is for Christians just as much as it is for non-Christians.

We never advance beyond the good news of the cross and the empty tomb… Therefore, the Christian always looks back to the Gospel and never to the law as the basis for his righteousness before God… There is no such thing as performance-based Christianity… Justification is a doctrine for the whole Christian life from start to finish. It is not simply a doctrine for coming to Christ in the first place… Justification is a doctrine to live by each and every moment.” -Philip Ryken

Remembering His Grace, Begging His Mercy

Thank You, Lord, for all the good reports about the blessing the church services have been and how Your Word has been carefully explained and applied. Thank You, for providing Armon and Elona Siemsen (and not letting a fall from a ladder keep Armon from doing Your work).

The Talbot Bible Lands Israel class returned from Israel. God was merciful in blessing this trip in so many ways. We are grateful for the privileges that were extended to us. Most of all, we thank you for faithfully praying.

Praise the Lord for the rain…and rain…and the rain…and rain. Is it time to start an “Ark Fund”?

The Korean congregation’s Bible Conference between Christmas and the New Year saw nearly 300 gathered to hear and learn God’s Word. God was faithful in saving those who trusted in the finished work of Jesus Christ! Pastor Yoon will be leaving this next week to lead a Bible conference in Korea. Please join in praying for those who are not saved to come to Christ.

Please remember the grieving families in prayer who lost sons and daughters that were serving our country in the military. Pray that God will sustain their faith and strengthen their hope.
